Door cannot be locked or machine won't start.
The door lock mechanism is faulty or there is a wiring issue to the lock.
Check the door is closed properly. Inspect the door lock for damage. Test the wiring and replace the lock assembly if faulty.
The hob shuts down during use.
The internal electronics have overheated. This can be caused by blocked ventilation underneath the hob or prolonged use on high power without adequate airflow.
Let the hob cool down completely. Ensure the ventilation slots under the worktop are clear and not obstructed. The hob should restart once it has cooled.
Machine is not filling with water or filling very slowly.
Low water pressure, a kinked inlet hose, or a faulty water inlet valve.
Ensure the water tap is fully open. Check the inlet hose for kinks or blockages. Clean the filter inside the inlet valve. Replace the valve if it's defective.
A specific cooking zone shuts down.
The surface temperature of the ceramic glass has become too high, often from using an empty pan or one with a non-flat base.
Remove the pan and allow the cooking zone to cool down. Do not heat empty cookware. Ensure pans have a flat, thick base.
Machine is not draining water or pump runs continuously.
The drain pump filter is clogged, the drain hose is blocked or kinked, or the drain pump itself is faulty.
Clean the drain pump filter located at the bottom front of the machine. Check the drain hose for obstructions. If the issue persists, the pump may need to be replaced.
The hob does not turn on or shows an error immediately.
The hob is receiving incorrect voltage from the mains supply. This is an installation or electrical supply issue.
This is a serious electrical fault. Turn off the power at the circuit breaker and contact a qualified electrician to check the hob's connection and the mains voltage.
Machine has overfilled with water, potential for leaking.
A faulty pressure switch or a stuck water inlet valve is causing the machine to take in too much water.
Disconnect from power. Manually drain the machine. Inspect the pressure switch and its connecting hose for blockages. Test and replace the inlet valve if it doesn't shut off.
Refrigerator is not cooling properly and there is a large ice block behind the back panel.
The defrost heater, which melts frost from the evaporator coils, is not working.
The appliance must be defrosted. Test the defrost heater element for continuity and replace it if faulty. Also check the defrost thermostat.
Water is not heating up during the wash cycle.
The heating element is faulty, or the NTC temperature sensor is defective, providing incorrect readings.
Test the heating element for continuity with a multimeter. Check the NTC sensor for correct resistance values. Replace the faulty component.
The drum is not turning or spinning.
The motor is faulty, carbon brushes are worn out, or there is an issue with the motor's tachometer.
Check the motor's carbon brushes for wear and replace if shorter than 15mm. Inspect motor wiring. Test the motor and tacho coil; replace motor if necessary.
One side of the induction hob (usually two zones) is not working.
Communication fault between the hob's two internal power modules (one for each pair of zones).
Try resetting the hob by turning it off at the circuit breaker for 10 minutes. If the fault persists, it indicates a hardware failure in one of the power boards, requiring a technician.
Drum may spin uncontrollably to high speed or not at all.
Fault in the motor control circuit on the main PCB, specifically the motor triac being short-circuited.
This is a fault with the main electronic control board. The board will need to be repaired by an electronics specialist or replaced entirely.
Machine stops mid-cycle, display may flash or be unresponsive.
Communication error between the main control board (PCB) and the display board.
Disconnect the appliance from power for 10 minutes to reset. Check the wiring harness connecting the two boards for loose connections or damage. If the problem persists, one of the boards may be faulty.
Drainage is slow or incomplete.
This is a specific drain fault, often indicating a partial blockage in the drain pump or hose that is slowing down the draining process.
Perform a thorough cleaning of the drain pump filter. Check the sump hose and drain hose for any partial obstructions like socks or coins.
A cooking zone will not turn on, and 'F' is flashing on its display.
The hob cannot detect a suitable pan on the cooking zone. The pan is either missing, not induction-compatible, too small, or not centered correctly.
Place an induction-compatible pan in the center of the cooking zone. Use a magnet to test if your cookware is compatible (the magnet should stick firmly to the base).
Oven does not heat correctly or displays error code.
The oven's temperature sensor (NTC) circuit is open. The sensor is faulty or its wiring is disconnected.
Inspect the wiring to the temperature sensor. Test the sensor with a multimeter for correct resistance (it should not be open circuit). Replace the sensor if it's faulty.
Dishwasher has stopped and may be leaking water from the base.
The anti-flood protection system (aquastop) has been activated. There is water in the base tray of the appliance.
Disconnect power and water supply. Tilt the dishwasher 45 degrees forward to drain the water from the base. Find and repair the source of the internal leak (e.g., split hose, bad seal).
Oven overheats or doesn't regulate temperature properly.
The oven's temperature sensor (NTC) has short-circuited.
Test the temperature sensor with a multimeter. If it shows a short circuit (zero or very low resistance), it must be replaced.
Water is left in the bottom of the dishwasher after a cycle.
A blockage in the filters, drain hose, or a faulty drain pump is preventing the water from being removed.
Clean all filters in the bottom of the dishwasher. Check the drain hose for kinks and blockages where it connects to the sink plumbing. Inspect the drain pump impeller for debris.
Oven shuts down during use and displays an error.
The oven has detected an overheating condition, likely due to a faulty cooling fan or blocked ventilation.
Ensure oven ventilation slots are not blocked. Check that the cooling fan is running when the oven is hot. If the fan is not working, it will need to be repaired or replaced.
Dishwasher continuously fills with water, even when turned off.
The water inlet valve (solenoid) is stuck open and not shutting off the water supply.
Immediately turn off the water supply to the dishwasher. The inlet valve needs to be replaced.
Oven displays error code and may not operate.
A fault has been detected with the cooling fan circuit, even if not overheating.
Check the wiring to the cooling fan. Test the fan motor to see if it has failed. Replace the fan assembly if necessary.
Poor wash results and incorrect water temperature.
A fault with the NTC temperature sensor. It is either open or short-circuited.
The NTC sensor, which measures water temperature, needs to be tested for the correct resistance value. If faulty, it must be replaced.
The oven door will not lock or unlock, especially for pyrolytic cleaning cycles.
The motorized door lock mechanism is faulty, jammed, or has an electrical issue.
Allow the oven to cool completely. Try power cycling the oven to reset the lock. If it remains stuck, the lock mechanism may need to be manually released and replaced.
Dishwasher does not fill with water or stops at the beginning of the cycle.
Insufficient water supply. The water tap may be closed, the inlet hose kinked, or the inlet valve filter blocked.
Ensure the water supply tap is fully open. Straighten any kinks in the inlet hose. Unscrew the hose from the dishwasher and clean the small mesh filter inside the connection point.
Dishes are not being washed with hot water; poor cleaning results.
Fault with the heating element. It has failed and is no longer heating the water.
The heating element needs to be tested for continuity. If it is open circuit, it must be replaced.
Water is not being directed to the spray arms correctly; poor wash performance.
The diverter valve, which switches water flow between the upper and lower spray arms, is jammed or has failed.
Inspect the diverter valve motor and mechanism for blockages or damage. The valve may need to be replaced.
Oven function cannot be selected, or the wrong function activates.
There is a fault with the function selector switch or its connection to the main control board.
Check the wiring between the selector switch and the PCB. The selector switch itself may be dirty or faulty and require cleaning or replacement.
An 'H' is displayed for a cooking zone after it has been turned off.
This is a residual heat indicator, not an error. It warns that the glass surface of the cooking zone is still hot and unsafe to touch.
No action needed. The 'H' will disappear on its own once the zone has cooled to a safe temperature.
Alarm and 'HF' (High Freezer) warning displayed.
The freezer compartment temperature is too high. This could be due to a recent large addition of unfrozen food, the door being left ajar, or a cooling system fault.
Ensure the door is closed properly. Avoid opening the door frequently. If the error doesn't clear within 24 hours, it indicates a more serious fault that needs professional diagnosis.
